This guide covers the hotels in Lossiemouth we could confirm, plus a guest house, a holiday park, and the places an older version of this page listed in error.

Hotels in Lossiemouth: What Is Open Now

Where to Stay in Lossiemouth

Lossiemouth has two main hotel areas. Stotfield Road, beside the golf courses and the West Beach, holds the Stotfield Hotel and the Golf View Hotel. Clifton Road, near the East Beach, holds the Firth Hotel. A bed and breakfast and a holiday park fill out the list. We found no motels in town.

Population stands at about 6,650 people, according to Wikipedia. The town stays quiet outside summer, so a small hotel can fill on a busy weekend. Book early and ask for written confirmation.

Stotfield Hotel

The Stotfield Hotel stands on Stotfield Road, Lossiemouth, IV31 6QS. The Moray Speyside tourism site says the hotel overlooks the West Beach and Covesea Lighthouse and sits near Moray Golf Club.

Two sources give 47 en suite bedrooms. The Best Loved Hotels listing names sea view doubles and twins, standard doubles, twins, triples, quads, and singles. Rooms carry a work desk, tea and coffee facilities, a hairdryer, and a television, according to the Best Loved listing.

The hotel runs a restaurant and bar. Best Loved says the kitchen serves breakfast and dinner until 9 PM. Onsite parking exists. Moray Speyside lists function rooms, accessible parking, and a pet-friendly policy. Best Loved says family owners run the hotel.

The listings disagree on Wi-Fi. One says free and fast, and another says a charge applies. Ask when you book. We could not find a phone number or check-in times in the sources we could open, so contact the hotel through a booking site before you travel.

Pick the Stotfield if you want the largest room count in town, a restaurant on site, and a short walk to the golf courses.

Firth Hotel and Restaurant

The Firth Hotel stands at 5 Clifton Road, Lossiemouth, IV31 6DJ. Moray Speyside and VisitScotland both list ten bedrooms. Moray Speyside says the owners renovated the hotel and redesigned the rooms, with seven of the ten facing the sea.

Booking.com lists check-in from 1:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The same listing places the hotel about 100 metres from the East Beach and gives free parking and Wi-Fi. A restaurant, a bar, a coffee house, and a garden sit on site. Breakfast options include vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes.

Families get family rooms and a children playground, according to Booking.com. The listing offers pet bowls but says pets are not allowed, so leave dogs at home or call to check.

VisitScotland places the Firth near Duffus Castle and Glen Moray Distillery, on the route to the Malt Whisky Trail. Pick the Firth if you want a small hotel by the East Beach and the dunes.

Golf View Hotel

The Golf View Hotel sits beside the golf course and looks over the Moray Firth, according to Expedia and Hotels.com. Expedia lists the address as Stotfield Road, Lossiemouth, IV31 6QS, the same postcode as the Stotfield Hotel. Confirm the exact street address when you book.

Expedia lists nine rooms with check-in from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Rooms carry a flat-screen television, a private bathroom, and a tea and coffee maker. Facilities include a bar, a restaurant, a terrace, free parking, and free Wi-Fi. Expedia also lists mini golf and an outdoor play area.

Hotels.com gives the hotel a rating of 8.6 out of 10 from 211 reviews. We could not reach an official site, so treat the room count and facilities as booking site data. Pick the Golf View if you want a small hotel next to the fairways.

Guest Houses and Bed and Breakfasts in Lossiemouth

Small guest houses suit travelers who want a host and a cooked breakfast. We found two. Each rests on a single listing, so call before you plan around either.

Norland Bed and Breakfast

Norland is a Victorian villa built in 1894, according to its listing on University Rooms. The listing describes en suite bedrooms with a VisitScotland four-star rating, a breakfast room with beach views, and grounds with sea views.

The listing gives check-in from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM and check-out before 10:00 AM. We found no second source and no address, so confirm the details and the current rating directly. The 4 PM start suits late arrivals, because the window runs until 10 PM.

Lossiemouth House

VisitScotland lists Lossiemouth House as eighteenth century bed and breakfast accommodation with six letting rooms, Wi-Fi, and parking. The page puts the house a short walk from the East Beach. The listing gave no street address, phone, or check-in times, and we found no second source. Search for the property by name, and confirm the house still takes guests.

Holiday Parks and Self-Catering Near Lossiemouth

Travelers with a caravan, a tent, or a family should look at the Silver Sands Holiday Park. The park stands on Covesea West Beach, Lossiemouth, IV31 6SP, according to Moray Speyside. Park Holidays says the park offers caravans, camping pods, and lodges, with direct access to a sandy beach.

Park Holidays lists a heated indoor pool, a gym, a restaurant and bar, a shop, a launderette, and free Wi-Fi. Children clubs and evening shows run from March to October. The restaurant and bar stay open all year at reduced hours from November to February. Moray Speyside also lists touring and camping pitches and says the park welcomes pets. Confirm pet rules and pitch details by phone.

Hotels.com also lists holiday cottages near the golf course, including Seascape and Lossiemouth Bay Cottage. Both carry few reviews, so read recent guest comments and confirm the booking terms with the host.

Old Listings We Could Not Verify

An earlier version of this page named five places. We dropped four places because we found no proof they exist in Lossiemouth today.

The Old Mill Inn is the clearest error. Wikipedia places a hotel with this name in Mill Lane, Pitlochry, in Perth and Kinross. Searches for Lossiemouth returned no Old Mill Inn in the town. Pitlochry lies far from the Moray coast, so do not book this name for a Lossiemouth trip.

We also found no listing for a Dolphin Hotel, a Seafield Guest House, or a Links Apartment in Lossiemouth. These names may belong to places which closed, changed names, or never stood here. If you hold a booking under one of these names, call the booking site and confirm the address before you travel.

Where to Stay Near Moray Golf Club and the Beaches

Moray Golf Club has two 18-hole courses on Stotfield Road. Wikipedia says the Old Course dates from 1889 and came from the designer Old Tom Morris. The Stotfield Hotel and the Golf View Hotel both sit in this area, so golfers can book either and plan a tee time through the club.

The town has two beaches. The East Beach is a white sand strip beyond the River Lossie, reached by the East Beach Bridge. Live Breathe Scotland says the sand runs about 7 miles toward Garmouth. The West Beach holds Covesea Lighthouse, built in 1846 according to the same guide. A heritage centre for the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm sits at the lighthouse, according to Wikipedia and Moray Speyside.

For the East Beach, choose the Firth Hotel or Lossiemouth House. For the West Beach, choose the Stotfield, the Golf View, or Silver Sands.

The Lossiemouth Fisheries and Community Museum records the harbour and fishing history. RAF Lossiemouth sits next to the town and gives work to many local people. Wikipedia says the bases provide a fifth of local employment. Expect aircraft noise on some days.

Things to Do Near Your Lossiemouth Hotel

Live Breathe Scotland names Duffus Castle, Spynie Palace, the Sculptors Cave, and Elgin Cathedral as nearby sights. Moray Speyside puts Duffus Castle about ten minutes away by car. Check Historic Environment Scotland for opening hours and ticket details before you go, because we did not confirm 2026 hours.

Live Breathe Scotland also lists Windswept Brewing, a craft brewery, and events such as Seafest in summer, a raft race in late July, and an air show. Dates move each year, so check the organizers.

Surf lessons run on the East Beach through SurfABLE and the New Wave Surf School, according to Moray Speyside. Whisky fans can use the town as a base for the Malt Whisky Trail, which VisitScotland ties to the Firth Hotel listing.

Getting to Lossiemouth

Lossiemouth has no railway station. Wikipedia says the nearest station is in Elgin, with trains to Inverness and Aberdeen. Live Breathe Scotland says the drive from Elgin takes 15 minutes along the A941. Wikipedia reports a frequent bus service between Lossiemouth and Elgin. A bus timetable site lists the 33C service by Stagecoach, but the registration data we saw dates from 2016, so check the current timetable.

Other roads include the B9103 from the A96 and the B9040 along the coast to Hopeman. A cycle path links the town to Elgin.

Travelers by air usually land at Inverness or Aberdeen and continue by train or car to Elgin. We did not source drive times from either airport, so check a map for current times and road conditions.

How to Choose a Hotel in Lossiemouth

Golfers should start with the Stotfield or the Golf View, because both sit near Moray Golf Club.

Families can look at the Firth for family rooms and a playground, or at Silver Sands for the pool and the children clubs.

Beach walkers should pick the Firth for the East Beach or the Stotfield for the West Beach.

Travelers who want a host and a home breakfast can call Norland or Lossiemouth House.

Caravan and camping travelers should book Silver Sands and confirm pitch types.

Before you pay, confirm the property name, the street address, the cancellation terms, parking, breakfast hours, and front desk hours for late arrival. Ask for the total with taxes and fees, and compare the total on two booking sites and by phone.
